Hello, I'm new to this. Today I had a consult with my doc. He told me I was a candidate for either gastric bypass or sleeve. In you guys opinion what do you recommend?

Lies.. There's maybe 5% chance of those issues where sleeve is like 50% chance of either getting gerd or making gerd worse.

Everyday I see ppl complaining about gerd and needing revisions..

I'm 4 weeks post op from RNY with not one single issue

gerd can be controlled with meds.. i am living example.. i rather have that then the risk of ulcers stomach perforations nutritional deficiency and other issues related to the bypass

Sorry but you are terribly misinformed. There Is much higher risk of hiatal hernia with sleeve. I was educated and knew that risk going in.

Everyone has to do what is right for them. There is much new info coming out on the dangers of long term use of ppis. It really has to be a personal decision. No right and no wrong here.
